I just saw this rendering of the upcoming Canadian Museum of Human Rights.
Can't say I'm a fan. Looks like a cubist version of a used condom.

No doubt it will be considered a masterpiece of ingenuity by some.
To me it's an example of an architect's swollen vanity.
His fee for designing his "masterpiece" will probably be on par with the actual construction of the silly thing.
Wonder if the sloping ramps are access routes for the disabled.

Not suprisingly, number 22 of the communist manifesto is to degrade artistic expression (to wit:"eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.")
That bldg is a fine start.
